Buenos Aires:

10 million hectares are affected by water

While almost 15 districts on Wednesday asked the government of Daniel Scioli be declared an agricultural emergency flood from Carbap, the main sector entity in the province, estimated that there are 10 million hectares in Buenos Aires area affected by heavy rains accumulated recent months with losses of 4.5 billion pesos in crops, livestock and infrastructure.

The report estimated the rural entity in 4500 million pesos losses damages from floods. The data covers from the fences and facilities destroyed by the rising waters to damage to livestock and cultivated areas.

In that regard, he noted that in districts like Southeast Necochea, Benito Juarez and San Cayetano, "we estimate that affected between 10 and 15 percent of the acres planted to wheat." He also assured that seven districts in northwest-which together produce 40 percent of the province's corn-have "serious problems to plant in September if not drain the water."

Philippines:

5.6-magnitude quake destroys 800 homes

CAGAYAN DE ORO, Philippines—More than 800 homes and businesses were damaged when a 5.6-magnitude earthquake rocked Bukidnon, a province in southern Philippines early Tuesday, officials said.

Cracks snaked across walls and roofs collapsed when the quake struck this southern island of Mindanao before dawn, said Patrick Callanta, operations chief of the civil defence office in Cagayan de Oro city.

One person was injured by falling debris.

“Houses and commercial buildings suffered cracks on their walls or floors. Some roofs collapsed,” Callanta told AFP by telephone. “The quake struck while people slept.”

Disaster officials in the region said 544 houses, shops and other commercial buildings sustained damage in Valencia city, populated by 163,000 people.

The lone casualty was hit by falling debris in the adjacent town of Maramag, where 316 buildings were damaged, Callanta said.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said the quake struck at 3:44am (1944 GMT Monday) and the epicentre was plotted near Maramag, a town of about 90,000 people.

Phivolcs earlier told INQUIRER.net the tremor, which was tectonic in origin, had a depth of 3 kilometers, located 15 kilometers northwest of Maramag at 3:44 a.m.
